Unbelievable, a month and still not running. I could climb around NT O.K, but when I first installed FreeBSD I was totally clueless. I had it running in a day or so. Sure some stuff was pretty messed up, but like you I read as I went along and got it to work. I've meet a lot of folks that either will not read or just can't get it by reading. Guess it all depends upon what you want to do and how much you want to do it.
